yeh
hmm
realistically u probs could just break it with damage since its still the opener but
can also just kill first
vanish doesn't do much
we pulled it a couple times and seems like the first set just died
ye
sure then yeh
should only be 3 root sets, yeah?
so kill > cloak > something (gnome/freedom)
err, third roots get blasted
by our CDs
no?
so right before you actually get rooted, vanish
can I vanish strike then root timing expires
U can but u can also just do it after u get rooted
Vanish cleanses roots and also grants an immunity to roots for a few seconds
It's either 1 or 3
Closer to 1 I think
I've always done it after getting rooted so
mini spiders in p3, do they normally die fast af? or do I need to pad
guild by guild basis?
or normally fast
pretty sure u dont get 4th anymore
it legit dies, cloack, dies
then intermission
you need to get rooted before vanishing yes
Is DS a better angle now for Ansurek you guys think?
depends on what you want the ST dmg can be higher
!wa
is it really worth to use cold blood with second tec? or just a small difference? cause if its big difference ima delete the macro
not much of a diff
it is more of a thing in trickster too because of flawless
than on deathstalker
I just changed my bind that was SnD to Solo SecTech
so now I have both with and without CB bound
i always had 2 just in case
ye im on trickster atm gonna use that ig
yea feint has always worked on wrest

Is range of RS the same as IC?
it is lower
No wonder I always feel that the range of RS is very small. I thought it was my illusion.
it's pretty bad
it used to be really nice with acro, now it's awful

How’s sub in M+ and raid
Both dps wise and feel wise atm
better on both metrics
better than before the anniversary rework
raid dps wise sub is up there
with the big boys
and M+ sub is doing much, much better
not a troll spec to play in keys anymore
Fair
prophet do you still play trickster or full DS now ?
I’m still too stupid to play it in M+ I feel
i stopped pushing keys so i'm just play w/e i feel like in 10s
and progging court atm so i'm playing trickster for that
right now i'm trying out playing DS with tea instead of CB
in keys
Like rn I play Assa, 3K rating
Sub could be fun to try but isn’t it like
Uber difficult
just practice and learning
it's not a simple spec for sure, but it's nowhere near as hard as before when we were playing dust
the big curve i can forsee fucking people up who are newer to sub and want to use it for keys is the aoe rotation
im also learning this spec again and i really enjoy it
because sub right now has 3 different aoe rotations across both hero talent trees
i main sub and it still throws me off sometimes swapping between the trees
how did it fare ?
But the problem is I’m geared for Assa and play Assa
it feels a lot better for lower keys at least, because everything dies so fast it feels troll not being able to fill every gcd
but planning to try ds again some time this week
on higher keys you can have dead gcds just fine and pump
fair point
i think kush just did a +16 siege with tea earlier iirc
but he is a different animal anyway (positive way)
he's playing DS tea and DB yeah
it does a lot more aoe
but it feels like ass to play honestly
maybe i'll give it a try again
oh it does more for sure
i think trickster fits sub really well
i just wish it didn't have 2 different aoe rotations atm
i think i will like trickster more too - but i've yet to play good with "new" ds in a key to really tell
could probably be more refreshing/engaging long term
or to get more people in here
the big issue i've had is i'm not doing high keys anymore, so trying to test DS and trickster with the buffs in 10s with groups doing wack stuff
is hard
tanks doing incredibly dumb things compared to 14-15s haha
to me it feels a bit weird
maybe it's just me
the way they could smooth out trickster is make it so unseen blade can proc off storm
not just so you don't have to cast stab in aoe, but also you can storm in high target counts in dance and be able to proc coup and spread FW
yea you are not wrong
its trying to merge both styles together right now
the bp and the cleave style
!sheet
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
yeah it feels a little awkward to me right now
i can imagine it's a lot for newer sub players to take in
agreed
Fair
I could try some sub for fun
Is the base rota easy :)
I played it at the start of the expac
Rn I’m mass stacked in crit and mast with a bit of haste
trickster is easier
you can ignore the bp thingies at the beginning
and just catch them later
Is there any minimum haste that sub requires to play?
the less the better
KK
I remember it being like
You start in stealth and SS
You use SS in aoe, if no stealth Shuriken storm. Evic as your aoe finisher. SD is like
Use flag before it
SB SD and SoD at once before idk
Was it SS then CB + ST?
I barely remember
Its a pretty set CD usage so it won't take long to learn
Why?
I remember dust making it harder for me to comprehend in M+
Blades doesn't work on sec tec clones, +premed value +its 16 seconds now
Fair
Do you just SoD with ever SD now
With double charge
And you still flag before SD I assume
i have a clear cut thingy in my sheet but it is also in the general guides i think
you only ever dance with sod
Yeah its pmuch build to 6-7cp, flag, finisher, dance+sod, ss,.sectec, blades, standard rotation
Nice nice
So outside of your CDs
You just shurken storm into Evi
For CDs
You build to 5+
Flag, into Evic
Stealth and SoD
SS
CB and ST then just
Mash SS into Evic if CP +5
Do we still use rupture
Does Fazed anti-parry still work for all raiders? Or is it fixed to just be the Rogue
still wors as far as i know
Pog
I remember rupture as sub being like eh compared to Assa
sub rupture is quite stronger than assa
In m+ you spread ruptures, but also at 5+ targets BP is better
but it has almost no mechanics to it
Over evis
Depends on key level and pull but i like to tornado and spread ruptures then go into cds once the pull is gathered
Fair
Dont wanna waste too much time spreading ruptures
Optional, some do, some run Veiltouched
So tornado and every hit you rutupre, sounds good
Ah KK
No finality anymore? :0
Also tricks over BJ?
Not unless you're playing DS+Brew
Some people dont even run that side of the tree lol
I still need to do some BM keys
Tbh it could be fun to go for relm highest sub
Nobody plays sub in my realm
Sorta dead relm
Plus even if my stats aren’t perfect I’m still p high ilevel
Yea top sub in my realm is 2.7
hey, is that your doc? Can u share it?
it is in my profile i think
cheers mate
I might try some 10s as sub later, if I do I’ll post how it goes
oh my god interrupted by an ad right as kush started talking about how sub is doing in keys
i'm tilted
KEK
Proph you only a sub player?
nah i play some sin too in keys
Pug or groups
but i stopped pushing
lol
everyone starts somewhere! i was not that great until i met a team that wanted a rogue to push with in S2 SL
Tbh I usually just go for 2.5K so I’m happy I got this high
and from there i kept at it
i mostly pug too
pugging title is miserable
Yea :(
Ofc if I had a team it would be fun
But I don’t think I can commit
Especially with uni and work atm
Next up you’ll say you go to uni
Or smth
Or work 7 days a week 10 hours a day
Aha
it's REALLY hard to find a set group to run keys with
it's kinda crazy how difficult it is to get a group going
most people will jump ship at the first sign of trouble
grass is greener mentality
i think getting 3k this season (at least earlier on) was already a good achievement
Ye :D
but yeah just keep climbing, you never know where your ceiling is until you really push it 😉
True
Thing is idk if I should keep climbing
I mean I could try? Big break is coming up
only do it if you feel up for it
don't force it
i'm gonna be real, i know quite a few people who hard push keys all day every day, and they're not exactly the happiest people in the world haha
True
but pushing keys gives you so many advantages
I mean
As a legend once said
People raid for FUN? Do you think me looking at my logs makes me happy?
-Barny64
it makes you realize the importance of cleaning up game play, looking into min maxing rotations, changing your set up to be more optimal
nice!
Sadly our guild is casual and lacking players
Also we have a lot of connection issues
Like we only usually get one raid mythic day a week atm
oh damn that blows
I need to log my runs more
Sometimes I’m confused why I don’t do that good in M+
Yea
Like one week we had a whole hour taken away due to people not being able to log on
Last wed we just had a lot of people absence, like our MT is stuck in bed
that's rough, that's why my guild runs a big roster
so we never have to call off raid for absences
ahh ok so not even 20, that's rough
You could say that for Assa too, but it keeps saying to get haste
crit is also a bit high
Yeye
It is Assa gear
So it won’t be optimal for sub
At least I got a lot of Amat
*mast
just for reference these are my stats unbuffed
You dont wanna use skardyn on sub or you will want to treat it as 3min cd trinket
I remember sub being like mass stack mas and vers
pretty much yeah
True, what CDs have 2 min CDs for sub
Cause Assa you just BIND to DM
well its 1.50 cds on Shadowblades and Flagelation
yeah transmitter REALLY good on sub
Yes
Just nowhere near as good Assa dps
But I feel like that’s also due to power level of the two sprca
*specs
its ok assass will get shot next season 😔
You can do close to assa dps in certain keys
City, dawn, mists and siege are all fine
Fair, sub has better ST right
And the second half of nw sub is way better
Significantly yes
Fair
that's the main advantage sub has over sin, is on pure ST the damage is miles better
So Assa is better on more aoe focused dungeons and comps with ST classes and Sub is better on ST dungeons and/or more aoe focused comps
For example last boss of nw youd be struggling to get over 1m, whereas on sub you can easily do 1.3-1.4m. Now thats obv a scuffed boss but still
Its not like subs aoe is bad
Yea
Its just bursty
Fuck that boss btw
Yea
Compared to Assa
Well Assa has burst
But you know what I mean
another positive sub has is defensive value
you just passively have around +10% DR over sin because of vers
Tbf
fade to nothing from dance gives you another 10%
Assa already has good defensives
sub is noticably better
you can do 4/8 in a pug if you want instead
I don’t wanna just ditch my raid group though
yea but getting railed with the boys does not hit the same
On my main
Like we already have low people
I don’t wanna just say “I’m not gonna raid today I’ll just do it w pugs”
you want vers mastery for sub, crit is fine, haste is kinda useless
Yeye
Tbh I most likely won’t gear for sub as I enjoy Assa atm
thats fine, you can do keys without optimal gear on sub too
Yuh
If I play it right it should be good
Excited for next semester tbf
No day has me stay at uni for more than 5 hours
And only at uni 3 days a week
in less than a month u gonna have a xmas party with outlaws flooding this chat
wishes for courage,strength and a strong mind ofc
😂
huh why
So I've started doing some M0 runs finally and I was curious about the rotation. If your Vanish is on CD, how do you approach your opener? Do you instead go into Shadow Dance/Symbol of Death earlier?

You generally already have slice and dice up in keys
So you dont need the eviscerate before the rupture
first opener as well you just do flag -> rupture -> full send
and you get snd up anyway
Ahh okay that makes sense.
if you want you can get snd up as the tank is gathering
It doesnt really matter either way, its just one eviscerate
but muh prepull
So with that though. Is it better to just do your full opener on trash mobs or should you be holding some CDs like Flagellation?
guess who's gonna take a round sit on the throne(its rhetorical) 
don't overthink your cd usage
just send as stuff comes up so long as what you're fighting will live the majority of your cd's use
!wa
Just like with tanking, it definitely feels hard to gauge the rotation sometimes in M0.
Just with how quickly things die.
low keys do be like that
yeah there's no way to use cds well in M0s when everything dies instantly
you just gotta press your cds and accept the fact that you're kinda wasting them
if you try to wait for a good moment to use em, you're gonna be sitting on them for long periods of time
I had to break that habit with learning to tank. When I got to M8s and M9s I was holding Shield Wall too much and Avatar.
one of the main problems a lot of people have in M+ is overthinking their cds
and holding too much
i knew a hunter who i did a mechagon workshop with 1 time, and she always had sus damage, and then i found out on the last boss she was literally holding her 2 min cd for the entire 1st phase of the boss so she could have it ready for P2 with lust
when in reality P1 was long enough where she was basically losing an entire cast
To be fair the calculation matters for some specs more than others
Like for sub I feel you are free to just go
Honestly most cases you should always just go anyways
Assa is just a pia because your cds are target based not player based
so it's possible to pick a target that wastes the entire cd
whereas with sub there's no risk of that
you just go
and vibe
the nice thing about sin is at least you can spec into sudden demise
So out of curiosity, does Sub do more single target than Assa?
and you kinda recover some dmg
in M+ talents yes
Yeah, though it's inherently, by design, inefficient damage recovery
yeah tru
Significantly in m+ talents yes
i figured out the 1st pull of SV
even on a 15 sending deathmark and KB is kinda pointless
if you're in a 3 dps comp
If that's the case, what makes Assa better in M+ Dungeons over Sub? AoE?
sin does massive aoe
large Aoe + iron wire are what ass has that sub does not
and insane prio
yeah and the prio
you'll always be on top of the prio mob dmg in every key as sin
That makes me think of people using Starfall.. it's honestly a nightmare if I don't place an aoe down ahead of time..
what about flag?
in mythic+ yes
The target of your flag doesn't need to live
unless I'm mistaken?
If you flag a target and it immediately dies, you can still gain stacks right?
it needs to surrive till you reach 30 stacks
Ah ok
at least you don't lose damage from not attacking it specifically
you can just cast on a target that will live than swap targets
if target dies you get 10 stacks so only need to survive to 20 kinda
you do lose the time tho
Bro its hard to get a full burst of AOE in 10/11s, nevermind 0s xD
do we use nightly/weekly/latest for raidbots on sub?
That is fair lol. This is my first DPS so it's a bit of a learning curve.
Well arguably, you picked the hardest class so.. can only get easier from here lol
basically, you get the buff with whatever stacks you have if the target dies, which can be bad if its low
So is it best to put Flag on a strong enemy that you know will be the last to die?
So like the Golems in Stonevault I guess as an example
Whoever is the chonkiest of boys
yup
Just faze a target and send it into a big boi
i'd like to see flag lashes do actual damage again
so we get some big prio dam during cds
that would be a good talent to get, replace some shitter talent we currently have with OBE
yeah true i mixed em up, the conduit is what gave the actual damage
plus the obe effect would be terrible on sub since it would desync flag and blades
after all the suffering we went through to finally have em synced
Very synced 
but blades back to 20 you cowards
So probably a dumb question and I'm sorry for it, but Shadowstrike is what generates Flawless Form because of enemies being fazed right? Also, sorry for all the questions x3
incredible
Thank you. Just the way it was worded made me think it was the fazed proc.
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
be careful, could critically hit
never liked they took that away and just made it into a mastery buff with extra steps
lashing something and then sending bunch of finishers into it and seeing big dam was pretty dope
probably way too broken with current SBlades tho
Should reduce the duration to 18 or 20 seconds and buff the damage to compensate 
The 24s duration is very silly when blades is 16 and dance is 8
that really was a headscratcher
multiples of 8
It makes perfect sense from a "keep the uptime the same as before" pov
EZclap
Why is flagellation icon a sword
Flag cd wasnt changed so it stays the same.
Blades duration was lowered by 25% to compensate for the 25% reduction in cooldown
Isn't flagellation supposed to be whipping people with a whip
don't limit your imagination
They'd give that class cool animations and sectec will remain as is 
i asked this yesterday, kieron answered me and i then forgot about it, but why could we fit 2 st in cds in df doing it that way, but now cant
i dont remembre what changed
Blades is 16 secs. Dance CDR is low
this is my biggest issue, honestly
Also dust reduced sectec by 30 sec
Shadowdust
You want to cover as much of blades with dance as you can
Any1 knows if Cloak can make the flame adds change target in grim batol?
They switch
They switch, focus tank, explode instantly and depleto
one weird trick that your tank hates.
I did that keya while back with a buddy, and he said "don't blind them" just as I blinded them. The rest of this sentence "because it will wipe us" but he didn't need to explain that part..

Maybe the next step for sub is full bugfixes, sectec working with blades and reworked talents like wm to work with all builders
oh 
In DF you either had dust, or you had 3 or so globals inbetween your dances to farm some cdr for it (if DB)
But now that transmitter and blades are 15/16 seconds waiting 3 globals inbetween your dances aint a thing
But also current 4p makes sectech first not nearly as bad
Doesnt cloak just make the adds insta explode or am i missremembering?
Next tier is reversed, omega buffed sectec 
2pc: SecTec clones work with blades ?
I wouldn't know exactly cause i was told about this cos interaction
The guy that told me was playin the stack strat
And his guess was about them instant fixing on tank and going off
Ye im not certain either, i just remember i should never press cloak and havent done it 
Theres nothing to cos on valiona if you're playing that strat anyway
Nados are non existing and knockback does not that much
Saves me having to feint the knockback 
Knockback kinda hit for a lot
I'm glad we are imune to shit like this with feint
But you just get one shot from it even in like 15 I think
feint is rly good
I would much rather have it cost no energy and be on the gcd though
Erm
agree, i would love for it to be energy free
I mean right now its practically free if youre in cds
fair point
A lot of classes would give up a lot to have feint even with the energy cost lol
???????????????????
wild take
cooked take
naah
im blocking you actually
not really lol
all 3 specs have infinite energy during cds
outside of cds gcd or energy is wya less relevant anywya
I've had situations where I've missed a gcd in dance because of it
why not both 
Miss a gcd and live or hit the gcd and die
ye but the point was you still missed a gcd even though feint is not on it
Yes but you lived
If you had to press feint chances are you needed to in order to live
ye I am not questioning how strong it is
in dance you can use evasion better
Youd miss a global in dance anyway if it was on the global
just that it can still 'feel' bad to press
Realistically to me just from a DPS perspective WoW or not, it off the GCD is better. Besides, survivability is better than DPSing in this case if you have to hit Feint over something else.
but
if it was on the gcd
you would always miss a gcd

i don't know why does it cost that much energy

Other classes's defensives do not cost resources
we can press ours too often
idk, not the biggest fan of energy cost defensive, cooked take perhaps
Other classes don't have feint lol
And they're on a 2 min cd 
Other classes defensives typically have cooldowns
so it kinda have to have a cost
Feint is absurdly strong
otherwise its kinda a press on cd thing almost
for outlaw it would be for example
feint is reaaaaaally good
I personally prefer both energy and gcd and keep feint as a strong defensive. The more accessible they make it the more likely it is that theyll need to nerf it
The second charge was gamechanging
you will have to remove it from the cdr
One charge alone has competitors
2 charges and no gcd
don't you dare touch rogue defensives
We have been eating so good
Like spell reflect
I don't think the cost serves as a balancing tool for feint
It's just a limiter
Maybe this was purely for pvp, but I remember hunter's feign death having a dmg reduction for a few seconds after casting
we have a lower healthpool to make up for it
I think the balancing part of feint is just how it's a niche defensive
That doesn't work on everything
So you are strong on certain stuffs
And weak on others
but elusiveness
You don't play cheat death?
I play elusiveness in m+ 
Which is arguably the best defensive in the game
Ye everyone does
But the cost is quite big
If it didnt have any cost we would just be using it all the time
Thus it would need to be weaker
Ye
if you get targeted by a dot or something and you don't have cloak you are just screwed
I agree with that but
õ_õ you play elusiveness in M+?
Where would you even take elusive over Cheat Death?
We are safe of that to me
Everywhere
everywhere tbh
everywhere, just don't die 
Bro got mogged
okay zac 
am i wrong
it feels like you already need elusivness in 10s though
those shots
what does elus do when nothing does damage
While cheat can prevent mistakes
Like you are going. To take élus
But then never press defs
elus is a skill check
but dont worry bozos will make more than 1 mistake per 6 mins
me not pressing evasion
then die every time after
what's the point in taking cheat death if you are never proccing it in low keys
with elu at least they can get saved more than once every 6 mins if they remember to press one of 2 buttons
i miss playing like a psychopath with cheat tho
if you are never proccing it you didnt need elus either tho
In situations where you know you'd die anyway without elusiveness
In which instances do you guys press evasion?
Aside from getting hit by normal attack
Whats the point of yoloing id you can only do it once per 6 min
The mistake prevention of cheat is way more valueable than people here give it credit for
I would not really recommend elusiveness until like 13/14s
When feint 20% alone isnt enough
Doesn't evasion only applies to attacks tho?
Especially considering that default feint works on most dangerous things this season
Elusivness talented
And sub is already inherently tanky af
If you mean the dodge effect
nerf sub
You can dodge a few mechanics in this rotation
I even intentionally proc it on some bosses, otherwise dead talent
My goal right now is to just get 2k rating as a Sub. 13/14s are not in my sight lol.
In my sleep the other day i cooked a brilliant way to make ol have burst
Which mechs?
tell me
No get fucked
ok
The fixates in nw around 3rd boss, the throw flesh in nw, the throw knifes on the second CoT boss
So quite niche
Downtime gives you a stacking dmg amp buff you can pop with AR
You can evade those?
Damn, I've gotten killed due to that throw knife and throw flesh
Frontal first boss nw
Good to know
The one where he spews acid and spawns adds?
You can evade that shit? I just feinted
Ya
You can also cloak it last seconde
You can evasion dot poison application from spiders in ara Kara first area
And the jumps from the flying spiders in arakara
Thats new for me
Noob

In siege you can evasion the guys that throw powder shot or whatever the name is
They are first boss and after first boss
You can also evasion bomb throw before first boss
You can also evasion the shooters in last area
The shooters are just a frontal nowadays though arent they
Most are yeah.
Kinda kinda not
There are a few that don't
Idk i havent played them 
X3 I only know from tanking it to be fair.
Also, I'm assuming there is a Weak Aura for evasion?
I think evasion is the most useful in nw
Since you can evasion all the throw knifes
And first boss frontal
It's a lot
I did a whole writeup on a per-dungeon basis on what to evasion/feint/cloak/vanish in the m+ tips section of icy veins
Ye and the fixates (even though you mostly get bop anyway)
But in theory if everybody wasnt playing prot pala that would be good
Prot war can intervene, but thats only for 6 out of the 8 seconds 
Oh, game up
At least you get a Magic Bubble.
To be honest, out of all the dungeons I've been learning and running, NW by far as a Prot War has been the roughest
wrong spec, Eleem

So which dungeon in M+ as a Sub is going to be the hardest to run?
I just removed that entire paragraph 
Wdym by hardest
On the affixes part there's another garrote mention
Damn mythic bis ring or mythic pants
hmm
I know for melee, some dungeons can be much harder to be consistent than others.
the rookery
And to be honest I don't know really much about dps mechanics for bosses in current M+ rotations.
The horror
Idk wouldnt really say theres any dungeons thats extra difficult as a rogue specifically
motherlode will be
we get 2 shot by almost everything if they dont omeganerf it kek
If anything the hardest part about being a rogue is convincing your paladin tanks to not skip the first 3 mobs of grim batol with shroud
Because theyll always pull the entire dungeon with their shield if you do
"Oh, whoops. Forgot to push Shroud. Darn. Guess we're fighting them"
Just cancel it
This sounds horrible

blame a bug
I hate the pure throught of this
Honestly, a lotta DPS mindlessly run into mobs with shroud anyway so there's a good chance it resolves itself without you doing anything.
Someone will find a way.
if you go through a mob it will aggro even if sapped
same if someone walked through me, tbh
if they are krangled enoughj
That's.. wild
I saw it a lot during DF S3 where people would want you to shroud skip the final tunnel in uh.. the first half of the mega dungeon.
Someone would just run through a mob and get sent to the shadowrealm
motherlode will be funny for that again
And then they'd go "Rogue????" or something
on the part after azerokk where all pulls are caner incarnate
I had someone do it in Siege recently on the shooter pack which was like, impressive to do.
that you want to skip
Theyre absolutely going to change motherlode
https://wago.io/TsFNFG1H7 no but you should be playing with this weak aura
lmao, that owns though
if you arent you are trolling
I keep hearing that the Motherload is an atrocious dungeon
they should add the bananas to more dungeons. banana affix.
to ball breaking
just rains bananas you slip on from the sky (eenmies too)
we go socket agen??
need more chaotic affixes like this
It's another one of those dungeons where it's a pug nightmare tbh that's all
make enemies slip up over them using the comedy sound effect
Every crit dealt has a chance to knock you down and back 5 yards, including enemies
Using Heroic Leap only to hit a banana is the worst
and every knockback plays banana peel sound
Hey is learning subtelty rotation a lot harder than sin you say? I wanna try sub *out in Mythic today
(we are stuck on broodtwister)
Not harder just different
Overall motherlode was fine, it just has some incredibly overtuned trash near the end so people were forced to either deathskip or shroud through most of it
affix that spawns an escort quest randomly.
Oh also I mispoke I meant to say "I want to try out Sub today"
I figured as much.
But theyll presumably tune it a bit differently this time around, just like how theyve done with other dungeons
I'm excited for workshop
I'm kind of excited to run it though, I've not really played older content yet
Sub and sin play incredibly differently so you may want to crash some lower keys if you plan to take it to mythic raid tonight
Everything is fine until summertime spends 5 minutes getting zapped in the stealth section 
affix that spawns tavian. the entire party has 10 seconds to pet him and type "you are a good boy, yes you are" and if you do he'll charge through all mobs in combat, doing massive damage.
Taivan best boy
if you fail to do it uh I dunno you feel bad 'cos he didn't get petted.
Debuff: you didn't pet the best boy. You die.
Also as a first timer to the spec, if you're using builds that are pinned such as the death stalker aoe build eleem pinned recently I would suggest swapping out shuriken tornado for veil touched @umbral sundial
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
can i use two crafted rings
yea
man why cant my main rogue get the juiced gear meanwhile my 2nd rogue gets all the good off pieces for sub zzzzzz
vers mas m+ helm last week and m+ ring this week
suffering from success
i have 4 of them lol

but yeah i should gear a 3rd one kek
the ret is mega juiced as well
sacbrood and shard back to back
I haven't seen the first group that skips the first 3 mobs
Just play one 
sadly missing two pieces for the last achiev
well i can potentially get it this week is rng in raid is blessed
What else you even need at this point?
time for assa arc @tribal blade
kek
it is not bad on cdr week
Just played Sub for the first time in NW. Is the add in dark exile supposed to evade when you attack him because of the permanent misdirection?
That kind of f'ed me up lol
i wonder if it is useful on court
or just cancel it
mandate better usually as second trink on court
Can't believe it's been like that for 4 months now and not addressed lol. Anyway that's good to know
It’s not really a bug, you’re redirecting threat to someone the mob can’t hit so it evades
you just dont have it up normally
Yeah I guess you need to know that otherwise your fight is screwed
sure. But generally speaking if you have tricks up, it snaps.
Basic rogue dungeon stuff
the ahaha is your brain forgetting you have it up all the time. 
have fun
neck and boots
Yeah I know it's usually what happens. I forgot I had it on (first DJ as Sub) and didn't expect a talent to break the fight
oh true
i have everything else @ 639
The funny part, I ran an OcE 10 about 40 minutes before reset. Needed one more slot for a socket. Hahah
so much for my hole
In M+, does Deathstalker have less prio target damage than trickster? Guides I have seen say to use black powder instead of evis from 2 targets (apart from when we need to reapply the mark)
Deathstalker has way more (~10-15%)
DS BP does like 85% of the damage of eviscerate on pure ST. So with just a few targets singular focus makes it better
The gnome 
Ugh I wanna go orc so bad but theres an annoying bug with orc and the bloodfang set it legit makes me not want to go orc
Save for maghar after .7
It is a bit cringe with 2 minutes though, why couldnt there be a 3 minute one 
(thats not troll with haste)
Well I'd just swap maghar now
I want to be off alliance
asap
I feel so alien in stormwind
are we secteching first finisher in dance always now?
Yep
is that to ensure we get a 2nd one in when cds are up?
Yes
sweet i like
Is Maghar good next patch?
Slightly better than regular orc ye
Better than dwarf tho?
Numerically both are already like 0.5% better than dwarf
Obviously the dispel is good from dwarf
Theyre making the maghar give one of your two highest stats instead of a random and theyre increasing the number by 30%
So what's the argument for trickster over DS then?
Surely it must compensate somewhere else.
Trickster bursts higher
And trickster also has more cdr from so you get some extra dances across the key
!fuu
Rogue Spreadsheet - Light Version / Dark Version
Main problem with deathstalker is that you kinda want to have dark brew and finality to do good constant aoe cleave with big ruptures, but then youre trading of rotten for it and youre forced to take perforated veins, which tanks your singletarget
Trickster is as best as sub as ever felt so far
agree, and it feels weird to buff deathstalker this much to make it relevant
also agree, played 2 of my weekly mists as sub. One as deathstalker and one as trickster, the one as trickster felt a lot more fun
I would say i preferred when we only pressed evis, but thats moreso a complaint towards FW being nothing but annoying nowadays
And storm consuming 2 rotten stacks i guess
playing around the mark as DS somehow feels more annoying than fun in aoe, also the fact that i dont feel like shit when there are only 2 mobs makes trickster just straight up a win in my book
DS just doesn't have enough cdr
Trickster you are doing damage with your abilities not some dumb mark mechanic
On sub its not interacting with sectech
Also by runs i did as DS, singular on my prio targets wasnt that high on individual breakdown
Nothing crazy
Yeah it seems a lot lower than you’d expect it to be
is sectech in transmitter the same as in dance where if you don't get all hits in the buff window its scuffed or does it behave differently
It wasnt affected by the latest plague dmg buff
assuming its the same
No different behavior, just that if clones hit when radio agility is down they hit for less
So yes just like sod, dark shadow and danse
that's what I figured, thanks
ds just feels like it struggles way harder to fit both and I greatly dislike that
could be confounded by lag when testing + RS bug
As eleem mentioned DS would interact better with finality and db but those are competing with stuff like death perception, inev and such which rn take the role of good enablers to make the spec feel good post 0.5
Yeah it def seems like its a better fit for db builds which would be fine if it played well like you said
@tribal blade
Flawless fucking run 
nicuu
Just have an enhance handle the first half
My 15 I did they did 11mil overall heading into 3rd boss room
I had an unholy and an elemental, with me on sub for the second half 
I just send sub every key now. Being ass isn't going to be why I don't time a 16 or not
I think title will probably be all 16s
Somewhere around there ye prob
I time one GB and I shoot up to behind you on sub rankings
My sub ranking also has a 10 sv and a 12 gb 

I think rio counts my nw as sub
Sub is fine in a lot of the dungeons I think.
Not sure I've felt any difference on my ass keys. Maybe stone vault I blast harder on ass
Ye only the part after second boss sucks a bit, but should be way better now with bp being stronger
But having flag+blades on every eye
Is super duper good
Is real good
Dawn sub is better I think
NW ass better first half because of rupture agi increase
For the bosses
I dont think sub is ever better, but its def around the same in cot+dawn+mists
Damagewise
But i also like sub more, and being tanky is nice
assassiantion is just extremely strong tuned
I don't think the line between the 2 is as crazy as it was start of season
Like numerically ass isn't 20-50% better
It hasnt been far behind since .5
even if the gap was higher, not feeling like shit playing full ST > sin
Sub having almost identical ST while still being able to do AOE is insanely fun
the bp buffs are good to bridge aoe a bit, assassiantion funnel is just extremely potent and does not require massive amounts of targets to beat everyone else in prio damage.
it still feels weird because sub was usually the funnel spec, but
sub is fun to play so whatever
Is there a way to see the numerical difference
Like sub cannot be that far behind on prio
Top Ovi boss dmg only with similar kill times.
Assa - 743m (Singular 40m)
Sub - 577m (Singular 27m)
It slaps sub around as far as prio.
It slaps sub everybody around as far as prio.
3.2m vs 2.7m overall. lulz
You get a splatter. You get a splatter. YOU GET A SPLATTER.
!wa
boss damage is cut by at least 30 seconds to a minute and 30 seconds playing Sub
in M+
doing 900k dps on ST bosses as assa with an aug is nasty work
I’ve acquired DS mark for nameplate. Next mission is to acquire DS mark next to discord name.
hey everyone iam trying to relearn the basics for sublety as a lot has changed since the patch. do we still have as much down time outside of our cooldown windows and waiting for energy?

Channels & Roles
Ooo ty
yes
It’s been updated that’s cool
@hazy breach iam figuring the stuff out at the cleave dummy's right now but it seems that during symbols/shadow dance window i use shadowstrike in multitarget untill it fades i go back to building with shuriken right?
yeah i am trying that out now
working arround shuriken tornado seems a bit off now tough
and not using black powder 😮
which one would you recon is easier to play between trickster and DS if you're used to the shadowdance build we had in season 1 and 2 in DF?
oh damn i tought BP sucked
But you also need to storm once with rotten up to proc fw for it
Ye it sucked
Then it got buffed by 35%, then it got buffed by 20%
And now it doesnt suck
gotta place that back on my bar again then lol
ill check icy veins for the non tornado M+ build then thanks
Goat
thanks a lot ❤️
two questions last how different are trickster and DS between gameplay? and is the full refund of combo points at random at deeper strat still a thing?
The "random" refunds is from shadowcraft when youre at 7 sht.
The slightly more random part of it is if you spec replicating shadows it can proc a bit after using your finisher
So for example if you get 7 sht 0.6s after eviscerating it can still give you a refund
Whereas without that bug it would only refund exactly when you press eviscerate
man its hard to utilize that tough
Ye
The bugshould just get fixed
But 
But if you track your sht stacks you'd know when the regular refunds happen atleast. or you can use one of the weakauras that play a sound whenever you get the refund
Tried the sub rota on dummies it feels a lot more simple than i remember
Gonna chill w this build
Anything i should chabnge
Sounds like a personal issue.
depends assa likely has used cds on mobs and wont get more than 1 rotation on bosses
as sub you get 2 or so most of the time
Yeah really depends
unless you just used cds on a mob assa shouldnt be doing sub 1mil with an aug
They'll come up mid boss if you used them a bit before
Assa not doing more than 1 - 1.1mil on pure ST in m+ bosses. And you can be Michael Phelps, pooling won’t save you either

Do you have druid/sham buff?
Might be low ilvl if you aren't doing a 1mil with cds
Just sham but he gets the PI as well. Plus in 17s bosses last long enough
You can maybe hit around 1.1 with ER
playing ER in keys 💀
But you sacrifice MA being prolonged
When I mean ER, I mean the second node
Starts with an R
I don’t remember the talent name
yeah the supercharger node
